Chapter 194 Making porridge? So simple!

Gu Yunqi almost choked on the porridge in his mouth, and he put down the bowl and hurriedly waved his hand, "I..."

"Look, sister! I told you Brother Wang Liu could do it! He was so excited he almost choked!"

Helian Zhiyan spoke first with a smile, completely ignoring Gu Yunqi who was frantically winking at her.

Xia Yunshu's eyes lit up. There really wasn't anyone there who knew how to cook. The young master was too far away to see clearly when he was cooking porridge.

This ugly-looking young master Wang Liu seems much more approachable than that cold and aloof one.

She has some valuables that she can exchange for some rice and ask for a favor... that should be okay, right?

She turned and ran back to get her things. Gu Yunqi watched her run away and breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, this person backed down when faced with a difficult situation, otherwise it would have been difficult for him if they had come begging to him!

If you say you can't, wouldn't that be just like the saying, "Can't you do anything right?" That would be so embarrassing in front of outsiders.

He finished the warm porridge in a few gulps and was about to confront Helian Zhiyan when he saw her looking at him with a gloating expression.

Just as she was wondering, Xia Yunshu appeared in front of her, holding a small box in her hand.

"Young Master Wang, how about I trade you some rice for what's in here? And cooking... we really don't know how, could you please..."

As she spoke, she lowered her head in shame and nervously picked at her fingers, like a child who had done something wrong.

When we were at the mountain villa, my mother said that a young lady should know a little about kitchen things, but she was too playful to listen or learn.

I really don't know anything about it now.

Gu Yunqi stood there dumbfounded, holding the things she had forced upon him, completely petrified.

His lips twitched, and he shoved the box back into his hand as if it were a hot potato.

"I do not want!"

Xia Yunshu suddenly raised her head, her face full of sorrow.

If she doesn't want to do it, she'll go back and let the wooden stake try it. Anyway, her sister definitely needs to get something different to eat today.

"Oh, sister, quickly take Brother Wang Liu over there! He said he doesn't need any food, but he'll cook for you anyway."

Helian Zhiyan ran over and climbed onto the carriage. The rice was already portioned out, so she took a portion and stuffed it into Gu Yunqi's arms.

"Brother Wang Liu, hurry up! That older sister must be starving, and we still have a long way to go!"

After she finished speaking, she ran back to sit next to Helian Yue, turned around and grinned, saying, "Brother Wang Liu is the best! He can do everything!"

"My brother and I are waiting for you to come back!"

Gu Yunqi's face turned a deep purplish-red, and he didn't know how to refuse Xia Yunshu's pleading yet admiring gaze.

He looked towards where they were resting, and the group of people were looking in his direction as well.

And that slender girl from this morning, I don't know when she got off at the station and was already there.

As if sensing his presence, the girl gently raised the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly in his direction.

Gu Yunqi quickly looked away, his face dark, and walked up to the two of them, picking up the pot.

"I'll come back to deal with you!" He glared at Helian Zhiyan and said each word clearly, as if he was about to grind his teeth to dust.

Helian Zhiyan covered her mouth and chuckled. There were many ways to get revenge on him for stealing her snacks, and this was one of them.

Helian Yue gently patted her head, a hint of schadenfreude in his voice, "You can't do that again next time."

The two, one big and one small, are like sworn enemies, arguing wherever they go.

This time, Gu Yunqi is in for a lot of trouble.

"Hmph, it's just making porridge, what's so difficult about that?"

Gu Yunqi set up the pot and muttered to himself; the fire was already lit using the wooden stakes.

"Brother Wang Liu, this rice... doesn't it need to be washed?"

Seeing that he poured the rice directly into the pot, Mu Zhuangzi cautiously asked.

They're fine, but what if the young lady gets sick and has an upset stomach?

Gu Yunqi thought for a moment that he should take a shower, because Helian Yue had just asked him for a water bag.

Xia Yunshu promptly handed over two water bags. He clumsily washed the rice twice and then poured the remaining water into them.

Feng Qian hesitated, wondering if there was a little too much rice.

Hmm... He doesn't know how to cook either, so Young Master Wang must have his reasons for doing this.

The pot was bubbling and boiling. Gu Yunqi recalled how Helian Yue had cooked the porridge earlier and was now stirring it haphazardly with a wooden spoon.

Isn't something a little off? Ling Chi scratched his head, looking conflicted.

He happened to see his mother making porridge at the mountain villa, and it seemed like she needed a lot of water.

Should I say it? Will I offend someone if I do? They've already helped me so much.

He frowned, lost in thought, until he smelled a burnt odor coming from the pot. He made up his mind, pointed at the pot, and whispered, "Young Master Wang, it seems like there's a little too little water?"

Gu Yunqi noticed that the rice in the pot was sticking to the bottom, so he poured in more water. After doing this several times, he finally understood.

Making porridge is so easy! If it sticks to the pot, just add more water if there's not enough!

Xia Yunshu felt that the pot of porridge, which was both white and black, was a bit strange, and thought that perhaps everyone had a different way of cooking.

The last water was added to the pot, and once it boiled, Gu Yun clapped his hands excitedly and exclaimed, "Alright, alright! So easy!"

Xia Yunshu showered him with praise, but Gu Yunqi, unable to bear it any longer, handed her a spoon and urged, "Hurry up and feed your sister! Don't let her get too thin."

The group busied themselves serving the porridge. Xia Yunshu, carrying a bowl of porridge that was white with a hint of black, sat on the cart next to Xia Yunsheng.

"Sister, eat this!" She scooped up a spoonful of porridge, blew on it to cool it down, and handed it to Xia Yunsheng's lips.

Xia Yunsheng frowned slightly upon smelling a burnt odor, but still opened her mouth and ate it.

"How is it, sister? Young Master Wang went to great lengths to make this for us."

Xia Yunshu was so excited that she didn't know what to say. Right now, she saw Gu Yunqi as a male bodhisattva in the world.

"It's...it's quite delicious," Xia Yunsheng said, her lips slightly parted. How should she describe this porridge?

Hmm, the rice inside was a mix of cooked and undercooked, and it even tasted a bit bitter.

Xia Yunshu was overjoyed when she heard this, and fed Xia Yunsheng several more spoonfuls until Xia Yunsheng said he couldn't eat anymore.

After finishing the porridge, Xia Yunsheng drank a lot of water to suppress the bitter taste.

"Second Miss, this porridge..."

The others looked at each other, each holding a small bowl of porridge. Ling Chi rolled his eyes and handed the porridge to Xia Yunshu.

"Second Miss, you've worked hard. This bowl of porridge is for you!"

Xia Yunshu was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears. Thinking that there was still some porridge in the pot, she took the bowl of porridge and drank it with tears in her eyes.

"puff!"

She nearly spat on Ling Chi. "What did you put in it that's so bitter? Are you trying to poison me?!" she said, about to jump up and beat Ling Chi.

This guy, relying on his speed, has always played pranks on people, and this time he actually tried to prank her!

Ling Chi cried out that he was innocent, dodging her bone whip while shouting to the others, "Speak up! I didn't do anything! That's how the porridge was!"
